SUBJECT:
Reimbursement Request - 1825 S. Ridgewood Avenue - ALDI (Florida) LLC
DEPARTMENT:
Community Redevelopment Agency
SUMMARY:
On January 24,2019 Wells Fargo Bank Quit Claim a small parcel of property located behind the retention pond
adjacent to E.Indian River Blvd to the City of Edgewater.The intent of this was so that the City could allow
access from the properties located south of Wells Fargo to E.Indian River Blvd.thus making these properties
more accessible for redevelopment in the future.
On February 1,2019,the City Council approved a Reciprocal Easement Agreement with the property owners of
1821,1825,and 1829 S.Ridgewood creating an easement on all of those properties to allow access to E.Indian
River Blvd behind Wells Fargo Bank for redevelopment in the future.Within the Easement Agreement,under
the section 1.(d)the first owner to develop is required to construct a twenty four feet wide road and any
stormwater modification requirement over the City’s parcel to connect to E. Indian River Blvd.
On July 11,2022,The CRA Board approved the Memorandum of Understanding.The City Council also
approved the Memorandum of Understanding at their regular meeting held on July 11,2022.Aldi was the first
to develop and did construct the road on the City’s parcel as per the Easement Agreement.These properties are
located within the CRA District.Road Network Infrastructure is a primary objective and strategy of the CRA
Plan as well as Business Support.The City Staff,CRA Staff and Aldi have been working on this MOU as a
way to promote redevelopment in the CRA district.Aldi built the road and also constructed a one-inch overlay
along the entire roadway of E.Indian River Blvd from US1 to Riverside Drive.The proposed MOU also stated
that Aldi will be reimbursed with CRA Trust Funds for the outlined work in the amount not to exceed $84,000.
The work has been completed,the necessary close out documentation has been provided and reviewed.Staff
performed a “clean hands”sweep to ensure that Aldi has no outstanding payments or permits with the city or
county.
